'30 minutes was the longest I have ever fought; Congrats to Floyd on a well fought match' - McGregor returns to social media 5-days after defeat

It has taken Irish born fighter, Conor McGregor 5 whole days to make his first social media post after his Saturday night fight against retired boxer, Floyd Mayweather.

McGregor lost the fight in the 10th round in what judges called a 'Technical Knock Out'.
In his lenghty post on Instagram a few hours ago, he congratulated
Floyd on a well fought match, thanked every member of his team and
reflected on how he could have fought better in the bout.

See his full post below...

Just coming back around after a whirlwind couple of days. Thank
you to all the fans for the support of the fight and the event! Without
your support we as fighters are nothing so I thank you all! Thank you
to my team of coaches and training partners!I had an amazing team and It truly was an amazing and enjoyable
camp, and honestly I feel with just a little change in certain areas of
the prep, we could have built the engine for 12 full rounds under
stress, and got the better result on the night.

Getting to 12 rounds alone in practice was always the challenge in this
camp. We started slowly getting to the 12 and decreasing the stress in
the rounds the closer it got to 12. I think for the time we had, 10
weeks in camp, it had to be done this way. If I began with a loaded 12
rounds under much stress I would have only hit a brick wall and lost
progress as a result and potentially not made the fight. A little more
time and we could have made the 12 cleanly, while under more stress, and
made it thru the later rounds in the actual fight. I feel every
decision we made at each given time was the correct decision, and I am
proud of everyone of my team for what we done in the short time that we
done it.

30 minutes was the longest I have fought in a ring or cage or
anywhere. Surpassing my previous time of 25 minutes. I am happy for the
experience and happy to take all these great lessons with me and
implement them into my camp going forward. Another day another lesson! Congrats to Floyd on a well fought match. Very experienced and
methodical in his work. I wish him well in retirement. He is a heck of a
boxer. His experience, his patience and his endurance won him this
fight hands down. I always told him he was not a fighter but a boxer.
But sharing the ring with him he is certainly a solid fighter. Strong in
the clinch. Great understanding of frames and head position. He has
some very strong tools he could bring into an MMA game for sure.Here is a toast of whiskey to everyone involved in this event and everyone who enjoyed it!
Thank you to you all! Onto the next one!
